The Viktor Wilt Show daily recap! If you miss the show weekdays from 6A-10A MST, you've come to the right place.
Well, hello. Friday, July 12th. Friday and finally, good morning. Welcome to the Viktor Wilt Show. I hope so far it's pretty early, but I hope so far your day is going well.
Mine, not too shabby. Not too shabby yet. I did have to chime in on a Facebook post already this morning. I don't know. It was somebody talking about, radio stuff.
These tend to be anymore the only type of posts where I'm gonna chime in and say something. I see political posts all the time that I would love to chime in and offer up my thoughts, but you're never gonna change anybody's mind. It seems like when it comes to political stuff, you have to have those kind of discussions face to face. Something about it being done in a text form, I don't think people really think about what you're saying. They just read and go, that's not what I say, and then they fight back, and it just goes nowhere.
It's unfortunate, but that's how it goes. Just one of these radio programming things. I'm not gonna get into the details of it, but, you know, from I've I've been in this biz for, jeez, how many years now? 16, 17, something like that. That's a long time.
Long time. And I don't know. Oftentimes, I see certain people blamed for how things work in radio, and, generally, a lot of the problems in radio all come down to who's in charge of what happens on air. You know, there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff that goes on, sales, this and that, but when it comes to creating a radio product that listeners are going to enjoy and connect with, you need to create something unique so you can fight against all the other options that are out there, especially in this day and age. But even a long time ago before, how funny that I'm like, remember back in the day before Spotify was a big thing?
Even back then. I mean, some of the things I was trained in the beginning about how to program radio were so ridiculous. Most of radio, they just follow each other. That's why all stations around the country sound the exact same. The way the DJs act, the way that the music flows, the songs that get played.
That's the main problem. Every station playing the exact same songs in the exact same rotations because they follow those useless stupid radio charts. And so you got these people in charge of programming that are like, well, look at what they're doing in the big markets. They have research, so you should be following what they do. And I've talked to a lot of radio stations in big markets.
I've talked to programmers. I got a lot of friends in the business. And I'm like, k. What kind of research do you use to figure out what songs to play? And they always get kinda weird about it, which is funny because I think they know that their research methods are often very antiquated, very, just not good.
It's like polling. You know? Yeah. Calling people on the phone and playing them clips of songs over the radio and going, do you like this or using, yeah, online polling? Hey.
What do you think of this song? Or they'll bring a handful of listeners into a room and play them songs. A handful of listeners. Can you imagine? Alright.
You hear some of our regulars calling all the time. Imagine if I took all the regulars. Right? Let's say we get 10 of our regulars in a room, and I play them songs. And based on their feedback, those 10 people, I go, okay.
That's that's what we're gonna play. Are you kidding me? No offense to our regulars at all. It's just that's not a big enough sample size to determine what music is good and what isn't. So why on earth should we pay attention to what stations in bigger markets are doing?
Their stations are not in a lot of these places doing well. So why would we look to them and go that's that's who we should follow? They're the big cities. There are so many ways you can figure out what songs are good. And the radio chart and what other stations are doing is the least important.
It's the most useless way to figure out what music you should be playing, and that goes for any format, not just rock. I'm pretty heavily versed in the worlds of country music, pop music. Like, so many different kinds of music now you wouldn't believe it since I programmed the music on 12 stations. 12. And I put the work in to learn about these formats.
Am I happy that I know the intricacies of the country music world? Well, sure, because it's important to my job. But radio, I've talked about it. I know so many times, and I'm beating the dead horse again. There are so many artists in every format that radio stations don't play, that our stations in this building are the only ones nationwide that are playing.
I could name tons of examples. You know, we've talked plenty about sleep token. One of the biggest rock bands in the world right now, they exploded. You can simply pull up the numbers and go, okay. What are people listening to?
I can see what people are listening to in East Idaho. I could look in any city. I could look nationwide. I've got the tools to do so, which most radio programmers don't use those. I've talked to them about them.
Like, hey, dude. You know, have you checked out this system? They're like, what's that? No. I just pull up the radio charts.
It's like the look at what's popular and play it. This isn't rocket science. But I've been told time and time again back in the day. That's not the way we do things. This is the way it's always been done.
No. You can't do that. Just play what everybody else is playing. Like, that's why nobody's listening. We're not playing what's popular.
It's crazy. It's crazy. And I I don't think it's ever gonna change. You know, the the business is just gonna keep driving itself into the ground. Every day, I get the emails.
Well, downsizing downsizing at Alpha Media. Downsizing at Iheart. Another round of rifts, and they're not the good rifts. They're a reduction in force. It's because they don't let people do what they need to do to make a compelling product for people to listen to.
Like, do you see how long I've talked right now? Unless you're on a morning show with, like, 4 people, they will not allow you to talk like I do. You need to talk for about 30 seconds, maybe a minute. Stay on one topic. Get in.
Get out. Don't put live callers on the air. You know? Because what if they're not good at talking? They're gonna drive the showdown.
No. As a host, steer them. Steer the callers in a direction to try to keep things on track. Let the listeners talk on air. Why not?
It's radio. We have a phone. We have a phone that I could turn on and put on air. Don't put listeners on the air. Don't put new music on in the morning.
Why? Do people who go to work early not like new music, but people in the afternoon do? They're different people. Where what what nonsense is that? Don't play tracks from female artists back to back.
Where why? No listener has ever complained about that. No. Because nobody listens to radio like that. There's like, oh, I like this song.
Oh, I like this song. It's all you gotta do is play good songs. Sorry. I I got just kind of fired up by this post I saw because I got thinking back to people who have just been in positions where they can hold everybody back through their you know, I don't know if it's a I'm in charge. I have the power.
Therefore, you will listen to me kinda deal, or they're just out of touch. And they were trained improperly themselves, and they they didn't understand, oh, I have all these tools I could use to research how to play rather than letting a bunch of programmers in the bigger markets tell me what to do. Sorry. I when sometimes when you think back, things from the past make you mad. So there we go.
Is that compelling radio? What was that? A 10 minute break about radio programming to start the show? Yeah. Yeah.
That's something that I I woulda got a talking to for back then. Who knows? Maybe even gotten written up. You talked for 10 minutes. You talked by yourself for 10 minutes right after playing a a brutal metal song That was almost 6 minutes long on the morning show from a band called Lorna Shore which is screaming and yelling No metal in the morning.
That's a definite no go, stupid radio rules. I feel bad for most most radio people because that's the kind of rules they have to follow. Yeah. Got these old fogies just telling them what to do that are completely out of touch with reality. Alright.
Somebody call and tell me to play more music. K there. Play more music. Please play more music. I knew that's what you were gonna say.
I knew it. I knew you were gonna say it. I'm on the road heading heading to to, Boise, and oh my gosh. Okay. So, sir, what would you like to hear?
What kind of song would you like to hear? How about, Marilyn Manson's beautiful people? I don't wanna play Marilyn Manson. I think Okay. How about I think Marilyn Manson is a bad man.
How about some perfect circle or or some tool or something like that? Oh, see. You you know how to how to butter me up here and get me to stop yapping, Play some perfect circle or tool. Alright. Well, you gotta be adventurous sometimes, brother.
Adventurous. I mean, those are 2 of my favorite bands, so that's, that's pretty easy to convince me to do. Oh, right. Favorite bands, so that's that's pretty easy to convince me to do. Alright.
Right on, dude. Alright. Well, you're on your way to my friend. You're on your way to Boise. You're gonna listen to us on the app while you're there?
You know I'm going to. Alright. Well, thank you, sir, and thank you for listening to my rant this morning. You're welcome, my friend. Sometimes you gotta get it out there, brother.
Yeah. You know, it's Friday morning. I'm waking up. Exactly. Making it around the corner.
Might as well make it interesting. And you helped me break a rule because I put a live caller on the air who was complaining about what I was doing. You know, if you got listeners calling and complaining, I'm definitely about to get a write up for that. Oh. Oh, well, I'm I'm just let's just play music, man.
Play music. And I said no to your first request. I'm just, you know, I'm I'm breaking down all the walls. No. No, man.
You know, keep it real. Keep it real, man. Well, appreciate it, man. Who's this? This is Derek.
Derek, what city you live in? Idaho Falls. Derek from Idaho Falls. Well, I hope the drive to Boise goes good. Are you taking the scenic route or the boring route?
The boring route. I gotta go to work. Got tools and stuff with me. Alright. It is a it is slightly faster.
Sorry. You have to drive by Burley. I know it's a it's a scourge, but Dude, it sucks that that be be prepared for all construction in that area. Holy Hannah. They they've they've been doing road construction in that area for 20 years.
It never stops in the It really got bad over the last 2. Oh, geez. And they never complete anything. When I used to have to drive to Burley, it was so aggravating because it was years years. I'm like, why are all these cones up?
They've been here for literally years. They're not doing anything. Nope. They're just keeping us on our toes. Make sure we're paying attention, I guess.
Well, you know what, sir? I wanna thank you for helping me talk even longer. You're very welcome. Alright. I better I better actually take the break.
So Alright. Well, you have a great day, my friend. You too, man. Take care. Oh, I and I hung up on the caller mid mid talk.
Actually, you're supposed to hang up on them before they say bye. Just, click. Yeah. Get them out of here. Hurry up.
Get those listeners off the phone. Let's talk about tourist destinations. I was looking at a list of places you should go on vacation this summer. The top must see sites. And I figured I would cast my judgment on them and let you know what I think as far as these rankings go.
I can only address the ones I've been to, which are about half of them, And then I'll see if I could think of any others that I would recommend you visit over some of these other ones. So coming in at number 7, the National Mall in Washington DC, haven't been there. Can't pass judgment. I would imagine seeing some of the historical sites in Washington DC would be pretty interesting and cool. So I I I don't know.
We'll move on. Also, have not been to number 6, Yosemite National Park. Now it looks beautiful. I'm assuming it's a must see place from what I've heard from others who have been there and simply how well renowned it is. But I haven't been there, so I don't know.
Now number 5, Niagara Falls. I've seen photos. I've seen videos. But I've also seen Shoshone Falls out there near Twin, and I believe that it is taller than Niagara Falls. Now is it bigger?
I mean, I don't know. Is Niagara Falls is there more actual waterfall going on? But Shoshone Falls is taller. So I I think I might have to go with Shoshom Falls is a better tourist destination than Niagara Falls. Okay.
Wait. Cool 96.5 posted an article. One reason Niagara Falls is better than Shoshone Falls. There is only one reason. Oh, they have a zipline near the waterfall.
And that's the only reason. Alright. Twin Falls. You know, you wanna drag people out to the not so Magic Valley? Need to put in a zip line at Shoshone Falls.
Alright. Let's liven it up a bit. Alright. So I don't know. I haven't been to Niagara Falls.
But I'm I'm gonna go ahead and say, I don't know if it belongs on this list. Woah, bro. It's legendary. I I don't care. Alright.
Golden gate bridge, I have driven past. And it's sure. It's a cool looking bridge. It's neat. I don't know if I'd call it.
Must see I I thought that the, the bridge in Astoria perhaps it's not as impressive looking but if you wanna drive across a bridge, drive across that bridge from, Astoria, Oregon to, I forget the name of the town in Washington. But you cross the Columbia River, and it's almost terrifying because you're right on top of the water. And it's like, if we go into this river, we're dead. So, it's it's kind of an adrenaline rush, and it's a long bridge. It takes a while to get across.
So that that bridge is my particular, favorite even though I've seen lots of awesome bridges. You know, when I was back on the East Coast with my lady a couple months ago, I saw a lot of really cool bridges. So, yeah. I don't know. But as far as there's just something about that bridge in Astoria that it it just gives me the creeps, and it's fun to drive across because of that.
It's a bit of an adrenaline rush. Alright. Number 3, Walt Disney World. Now I have been to Disneyland and crazy enough, even though it's outrageously priced and there's people with strollers with babies that are never gonna remember being there and they're taking up all this space and there's way too many people, I would say you should visit Disneyland, and I think Disney World's way bigger, so it's probably pretty cool. So I'm gonna go with I'm I'm I'm fine with that being on a must see site, but it's a one dayer.
Don't let Disney convince you to buy 4 day tickets and things like that. You can get 4 tickets for a $100. You know, you go for 4 days. You don't need 4 days. One day is plenty at Disneyland.
I don't know about Disney World. But yeah. Okay. Maybe you get the 2 day pass. One day at the California Adventure Park, one day at Disneyland.
Yeah. And then you spend another day at Universal studios. There's your I'm gonna drain all of my energy out of my existence by going to amusement parks itinerary. Alright. They have others in California too.
What? Like legoland? Never been to that one. And I think that if you want good rides, isn't it, 6 flags? Isn't that where it's at?
If you wanna go on the really good rides, Disneyland has a handful of really good rides, but, I honestly think that cannibal roller coaster at Lagoon smokes any ride at Disneyland. The cannibal coaster is an incredible ride at Lagoon. Haven't tried the new ride. I forget what it's called. Looks more like a Disney style ride.
It's like sort of roller coaster, but not intense. And you, like, shoot stuff inside, and you go through this thing. And yeah. It it looks cool. Alright.
Number 2, Yellowstone. Definitely. I would say, personally, from all of the national parks I've been to, Yellowstone is the best. Beating out number 1 on this list, the Grand Canyon, which the Grand Canyon is a must see. It's amazing.
It's weird. Really cool. But Yellowstone's got so much more going on. Hey. Look at the Grand Canyon.
Big hole. No. It's it's really amazing. But in Yellowstone, I mean, you've got the thermal features. You've got the massive waterfalls, the big canyon.
You've got, these, you know, incredible lakes. You've got I mean, if you lump Grand Teton in, which I would, now they're 2 you know, you have to pay separately, and they are technically 2 different parks, but they're right next to each other. It's one park. Settle settle down, National Park Service. We know you need the money.
It's fine. But, yeah, Yellowstone blows away the Grand Canyon. Like, you can drive the Grand Canyon Loop. And I know there's a north and south rim. I've never been to the north rim because the weather's bad there most of the year, and timing's always been off.
But you can see all the, key vantage points at the Grand Canyon in a pretty short amount of time. If you wanna do the Yellowstone loop, that's all day. All day. Literally all day. So I think I'd put Yellowstone at the top of the must see sites, but then they have you know, there's places that aren't on this list.
And I guess are you not supposed to put a city on the list? Like, I'd say Sedona. Must see site, Sedona, Arizona. Yeah. What about the coast?
They don't have the coast on here at all. No no Oregon coast. No Southern California coast. The coast has to be cooler than Niagara Falls. It's gotta be.
Right? What what do I know? I mean, the coast is definitely cooler than Shoshone Falls. Ask me where I wanna be. If I could be sitting in Newport, Oregon right now or sitting in Twin Falls, not a very hard choice.
Alright. We're gonna answer this call real quick. K Bear, you are live on the program. Keep that in mind. Who's this?
Oh, my lord. What are we discussing? I have no idea. I hadn't got into anything yet, so I just figured you would bring the content. JD.
I would bring the content. Yep. Yep. What you got, JD? What's going on?
What do I got? Well, you know, I was listening earlier. I hate it when you invite people into our state. Who did I oh, because I was telling people to come check out Choshone Falls? Yes.
Well, as we learned, when it comes to ghosts or anything, you just say, get out. Get out. Yeah. Yeah. Don't worry.
Oh, man. Don't worry, JD. They're they're all going to Texas and Florida now. People aren't coming in here anymore. Is that right?
That's what I read online the other day. Texas and Florida. That's where it's at. You know, you can you can learn anything online. I'm a French model.
You're a French model? Well, that doesn't seem doubtful at all to me. I've seen you. I mean, ladies and gentlemen, if you've never seen JD, if you're looking for any type of model for any type of, business, you know, product placement, anything like that, nobody better than JD. Yeah.
If you need a big fat old redneck. Have you ever been asked to, play Santa Claus, JD? Not yet. Why not? You're you're know, you're jolly.
I'm jolly, but nobody knows how old I really am. Well, nobody knows how old Santa is either. That's true. It's scary. That's a scary thought, Well, you're gonna be the official cave air Santa in 2020.
Are? Yes. Oh my lord. So Don't don't you dare drag me into your holiday work. Listeners out there, we need a Santa suit for JD.
Oh, oh my god. Oh, just another another thing that, I've gotta live up to. Right? Yeah. Yeah.
I I like throwing more on your plate, you know, since I don't ask you for enough help as is. Now we need this Tay bear Santa. You're crazy. Uh-oh. Oh, I got a phone call.
I gotta go. All right. Good to hear from you, Santa. We'll talk to you soon. You soon.
Bye. Bye. Alright. So K Bear now has an official Santa Claus. That's fun and exciting.
What are we gonna give away for Christmas? I mean, a lot of lot of radio stations right now are doing Christmas in July. It's a stupid radio thing that I don't know. Imagine your favorite radio station just decides we're gonna start playing Christmas music right now. Hey, it's fun.
It's a unique and neat. Now people wanna hear Christmas music at Christmas time. It's one of the dumbest promotions. If you wanna give away presents in July, there are other celebrations going on. You know, we just had a big one.
You can just give away prizes. You don't need to do Christmas in July. I I wonder what happens if I pull up Christmas in July in the news. Let's find out here. A second Christmas celebration.
There's a Wikipedia entry about this. Listen. Y'all need to stop with Christmas in July. K? We have a whole Christmas season.
It's the longest running holiday. Because once Thanksgiving ends, it's Christmas till the beginning of the year. Alright? Look how many articles I pulled up. Well, you can't see.
I need to start doing my show live on Twitch so so you can see what I'm looking at on the screen. I'm I'm gonna get around to it. We need lighting and cameras in here. I'm not gonna, you know, do it with a a crappy look, but there are pages and pages and pages of Christmas in July things. I I'm starting the war on Christmas in July.
That's what I'm doing. Not the war on Christmas, but the war on Christmas in July because there is no point in Christmas in July. Alright? That is a winter holiday. What?
Are you trying to make Arizona feel better? Because they don't have snow during actual Chris we'll we'll, you know, sit in solidarity with the American Southwest. No. Get out of here with that. Alright.
If you had to guess, another article floating around from some really old person. She's let's see. How old? 108 years young. If you had to guess what she said are the keys to being able to live to the ripe old age of a 108, What factors do you think she's gonna say?
Because all of these seem to have one key thing in common and it is nonsense. And you I I think that they're setting a bad example for people because it's not gonna work out that way for most people who would follow these instructions. Yeah. Of course. We're talking about booze.
They're like, well, what do you do that has led to you being able to celebrate your 108th birthday? She's like, well, I drink wine and eat dessert. Listen. If you're sitting around drinking alcohol, eating ice cream, it is not the key to a long life. I don't care what this woman, Helen Denmark, says.
I've known enough people who enjoyed boozing it up That it did not work out well. K. Don't listen to these old fogies. Yeah. She's the exception, not the rule.
It is weird, though, that all of them are god drink whiskey every day. I'm a 100 and 13. Like, what? What are you talking about? She also says she flirts with men with mustaches.
That's right, dudes. You wanna catch the eye of Helen Denmark? Gotta grow out that stash there. Kind of funny. My kids watch a lot of YouTubers and I've noticed that the cruddy mustache is making a comeback.
The only time I've ever had a mustache was, like, as a goof. And that maybe that's what these young YouTubers are doing. They think it's funny. But, like, me and my friends one year, my band used to play this festival called Rock the Mountain in Boise. Well, outside of Boise in the mountains.
It was great. It's a bummer it's not around anymore. But 1 year, we decided we're gonna rock the mustache. So all of us grew these mustaches, and, you know, I I looked horrible. I looked like an idiot.
And it was so uncomfortable. I can't stand having a mustache. Like, if I go, you know, a week without shaving, that's about when you get to the point things start getting itchy. My friends said I looked like Gallagher's corpse in the lights on stage. They had, you know, a blue light on me.
And you younger listeners might not know who Gallagher is. You can look him up on YouTube. He was a comedian that would bring out a oversized sledgehammer mallet and smash watermelons. Alright? And he had a skulllet.
He had, like, long stringy hair and a cruddy mustache. It was very insulting to be called Gallagher's corpse. So, anyway, Helen Denmark, Gallagher's biggest fan. She expects to be around at a 110 years old, and she's gonna continue, I guess, her just partying, just pounding wine and eating cake. Now listen.
Again, don't follow Helen's instructions. Listen to your doctor if you want to live longer. Eat well and exercise, I think, is probably the best route even though you probably don't have as much fun as Helen. You know? She's wild.
You remember yesterday how I talked about political grandstanding? You remember that? That was on a national level. Well, apparently, Idaho jumping in on this one. And we've got the governor and secretary of state signing an executive order to make sure if you're not a US citizen, you can't vote in Idaho elections.
Here's a direct line from the article. Idaho elections already have strong mechanisms in place to ensure non citizens do not vote, But the order is aimed at bolstering voter confidence. That's right. They just wanna make sure that people aren't paranoid about it. That's a direct line from the, secretary of state.
Idaho elections already have strong mechanisms in place to ensure non citizens do not vote, but the order or the only citizens will vote act is aimed at bolstering voter confidence. Yeah. It's already illegal. We just wanna make you feel better about it. We know we're not really accomplishing anything.
But, hey, it's an election year and we want to appear like we're actually doing something even though this is literally not doing anything. It's already illegal to register to vote or to attempt to vote in elections in Idaho if you are not a US citizen. Alright? They do this every election year, and this happens in every state. The politicians start just pandering to their constituents.
And most of the time, they're not actually doing anything. Alright. What kind of problems do we got with non citizens voting in Idaho? This must be a problem. Right?
If they're thrown out an executive order in an election year, we must have some major problems in the state of Idaho with people who are not citizens voting in our elections. So let's look at the stats. Okay. Let's go back to the secretary of state. Alright.
There is not widespread voter fraud from noncitizens voting in Idaho elections, McGrain said, but there have been instances where they have registered to vote. Okay. Concerning. Right? There have been some instances of people not voting, but registering to vote, which by the way, I think I read that could get you, like, 5 years in jail or something like that.
It's it's a pretty serious charge if you register to vote and are are not an eligible citizen. So okay. Hold on. Let's find out how many. So there have been instances identified where non citizens have registered.
To the best of my knowledge, it's in the single digits. So in the history of our state, less than 10 people have registered to vote who shouldn't have. Let's see. Okay. McGrain said in his time serving as the Ada County Clerk, there was one instance where a noncitizen was prosecuted for voting.
And this was such a non issue that this is funny what he follows up here and says. He says he did not recall the outcome of the case, but he noted that the penalties are harsh. He didn't even remember what happened because it's only happened one time. Once. Yeah it's a felony it's a felony I also read elsewhere that most of the times that someone has registered to vote that was not eligible, it wasn't non citizens.
It was people who had had their voting rights taken away, felons. Alright? Because you lose your right to vote if you get a felony. Generally, those are the folks who register to vote that shouldn't be, and then they, you know since they require a whole bunch of checks for you to register to vote, you know, bring in your picture I it's like going to the airport, you know. You need a picture ID.
You're gonna need a proof of residency. Might as well just drag in your birth certificate. Take off your shoes. Alright. You know, take off your belt.
Run it through the state. I know it's not quite that bad, but yeah. You gotta prove that you're a citizen when you register to vote. As I talked about yesterday, I am so tired of politicians all across the country just pandering away to their constituents to try to appear that they're doing something that's already being done and wasn't a problem to begin with. He says it.
The I was reading direct quotes from the secretary Terry of state. This is aimed at bolstering voter confidence. He doesn't say this is fixing a problem we're dealing with. He's like, You know, we want people to feel good about it. Just, you know, pay attention to words, everybody.
I'm I'm gonna remind you to the end of time to pay attention to words when it comes to politicians. There's a lot of manipulation going on with oh, beware. Beware. This is not a problem. Alright?
Especially in Idaho. Jeez. Very strict regulations in place. Go try to get yourself a driver's license. Go down to the DMV.
Try to get yourself a star card. K? You let me know how many trips you have to make to the DMV before you actually get it. How much documentation you gotta bring in to get that Idaho ID because I've done it. Alright?
K. We're gonna do this, I have a feeling, in parts because there's a lot to talk about here. You might recall. I think it was about a month ago that I found this story on Reddit about a strange local mystery relating to the valley in the cloud sanitarium. It was pretty weird.
Let's recap this. Back in 2019, there was a police log from the Fremont County Sheriff's Office, and it was shared by the Rexburg Standard Journal, the local paper there where a camp director of a local scout camp said a female who was 17 or 18 years old wandered into the local scout campground in island park. Right now, this is kind of like, real life horror story. So if you're easily unsettled, you might wanna, I don't know, listen to the the sunshine and rainbows over on classy 97 with Josh and Chantal. Alright.
So female who's 17 or 18 years old wanders into the local scout camp, and the police log explains she had lots of cuts on her arms, seemed lost and confused, and she she didn't wanna interact with the male staff at the scout camp. Now the police log says, went to the gate of the Valley of the Cloud San itarium. Did not want them to follow her in. Advised it is northeast from scout camp about a mile. Right hand turn onto Big Sky Road, gated off.
The log said the girl's name was Elle. She had short red hair and was wearing a plaid shirt with a black tank top jeans and Converse or Vans shoes. And so this was shared on Reddit. Oh, okay. It says it was shared 3 months ago.
Did we really talk about that that long ago? Man, time flies. So anyway, this was in the Rexburg newspaper about 5 years ago. And once this popped up on Reddit, people started talking about this more. People like me.
I was like, this is this is radio content, local mystery, very weird. Okay. So East Idaho News talk to a local woman who claims to be the person who talked with the lost girl. They referred to her as, Taylor b, who asked to not have her entire name published due to the high amount of interest in this story. Nate Eaton.
I know you guys listen to my show. Gotta get Taylor b on my show here. I wanna get the inside scoop, do a full length podcast on this. Okay. So Taylor was a volunteer and vice chairman for an event called cedar badge held at the Island Park Scout Camp that year.
She was 18 at the time. And she said what happened on August 6, 2019 still haunts her to this day. So she got a call from one of the male volunteers on a radio who asked her to come help with a weird situation. She goes over there, and the first thing she notices is a distraught, confused girl who's sitting arms crossed, afraid, won't talk. And she said at that point, I'm doing college courses.
I'm in criminology criminology. I could instantly see her body language, and she didn't wanna deal with any of these guys around her. So Taylor asked the men to leave to give her time to talk with the girl. She had, purple bruises and cuts on her arms and legs, but did not wanna get any kind of treatment at the 1st aid station on the campgrounds. So she asked her what her name was.
She said it was l, but Taylor isn't convinced that was the truth, said she was super skinny, very light and fair skinned, then she had she had all these bruises and stuff. Also, her hair looked like it hadn't been brushed through in days. So she said it was difficult to talk to the girl. Didn't know if it was a lack of vocabulary and struggles with grammar or because she was distraught and confused. Said her clothes weren't very nice.
They were they had holes in them, more dingy, and she had a she had a bike, but but she called it a pretty trashy bike. So oh, look at the time here. Alright. What we're gonna have to do, I'm gonna continue on with this. We're gonna go through this whole thing, but we gotta take a quick break.
And I'm telling you, it it gets weird. You hang on here. We're gonna take quick break and immediately come back and continue with this story. Hang on. Alright.
We're back. We're talking about this crazy weird story that has resurfaced in the last few months about the Valley in the Clouds sanitarium. Alright. So picking up where we left off. If you missed anything, go back and listen to this on demand.
You can find the Victor Will show every day, everywhere podcast can be found, Spotify, Apple Mute, or Apple Podcasts, etcetera. Just look for the Victor will chill. Also, give me a follow and, give me a good rating, you know, or a bad rating. I don't care. Anyway so got this girl who's shown up at the Island Park Scout Camp.
She's kinda beat up, scratches and cuts and things, looking disheveled. She's clearly uneasy, you know, uncomfortable. So this woman that East Idaho News interviewed named Taylor was supposedly the woman who talked to the girl. And, she was asking her where she came from, You know, how'd you get here? And she's like, well, I'm not sure exactly where I am.
I just walked out of the woods. She's like, well, how long have you been in the woods for? What happened to you? And the girl just, you know, was very nervous and just kinda keeps shutting down. And, also, anytime any of the the guys from the the camp, the scout camp are around, she gets very uncomfortable.
So the girl has a bike, and Taylor asks her, were you were you biking? And says the whole story of how she got there and how she roamed into the scout camps. Very compute very confusing, and Taylor's trying to help her. You know? Can we drive you where you need to be?
And she's like, no. No, you can't. So Taylor asked her, okay. Well, can I ride my bike with you back to your home? And after building up enough trust with the girl, she's like, yeah.
You you can ride with me to the gate. So the girl told Taylor nobody else could come on the bike ride, but Taylor said she couldn't go alone, so so she like, couldn't you know, one of the guys here just follow behind us, and I'll go catch back up with them once I drop you off. And the girl's like, yeah. That's okay. So they hopped on the bike, and as they're, you know, riding along, eventually, the girl began to recognize where she was once the 2 of them got on the main road.
So Taylor asks, where's your house? Just trying to figure out what to expect, and she's like, no. No. No. You you can't come to the house part.
Taylor said, is there any reason why? And she said, well, it's not gonna be good if you go there. Taylor said the girl told her there was something that was watching you. So Taylor thought that meant maybe cameras or something and sounded like from her conversation with the girl that one main person was in charge who made a lot of the calls. So she couldn't get the girl to talk more about her home life, but she understood from what the girl kept saying if Taylor went to the door or past the gate, whatever is going to happen wouldn't be good.
Now the Reddit post which I saw months ago, I thought this Reddit post was interesting for sure. I mean, we talked about it on the show. I'm like, this is weird. Listen to this police report that was in the Rexburg newspaper. This is strange.
But at the time, I googled valley in the cloud sanitarium. Even if you Google that today, you're only gonna bring up stuff relating to that Reddit post. I couldn't find anything about this anywhere. The Reddit post had Google Maps and things that didn't seem to show much of anything. So I figured this was just a weird story of everyone's why you get a weird police report, and, you know, it it can be interesting and maybe make for radio content.
I figured this place isn't there. Alright? There's no evidence that I could find online of any anything near the scout camp. Alright? So let's let's keep going here with this east Idaho news article.
Again, I wouldn't have brought this back up had I not read through this article and saw some of the pictures. Okay. So they get to the main road, and the Reddit post said the girl asked to be taken to the valley of the Cloud Sanitarium, but Taylor said the girl didn't verbally ask to go there. She didn't believe the girl could have said the name of the place. She, you know, seemed to have some trouble talking and things like that, but showed her how to get there.
So she said it was about a 2 and a half to 3 mile bike ride from the camp to get to the gate. And Taylor said it was already getting weird with you can't come to the house with me. It's not going to be okay. As soon as we got to the gate, my heart dropped and it changed even more, Taylor said. I tried to get her to wait for police, but she wouldn't.
She was very hesitant. No police could be involved. She just needed to get back to this place, the valley in the cloud sanitarium. So I'm looking at a picture right now of dirt road leading up to a gate with a stone, sign on the side of the road, big stone sign with the words on it, Valley in the Cloud Sanitarium. This is a picture that East Idaho News took of the gate.
There is a place labeled Valley in the Cloud Sanitarium. These photos certainly indicate that, the story, at least as far as someone knowing this gate was there and it being a they could have made up the whole thing about the girl and this and that. Maybe they, since the name is creepy as can be, the valley in the cloud sanitarium. If I was out in the middle of the woods, as someone who really enjoys horror novels, if I was out cruising around on a 4 wheeler and I came across this gate, my mind would start going wild. I will tell you that.
This is just prime fodder for a horror story. So, again, would I have went to the police with a made up story? No. But it's always possible somebody did. But I don't know.
I seem to be more in the I don't see why Taylor would make this up situation even though I have no idea who Taylor is. Again, East Idaho news. Let's get her in studio. Chat about this on the on the radio. Let's podcast it up.
So Taylor doesn't remember seeing any houses, only trees. Now East Idaho News has been to this location, confirmed there is a lock gate with the wording valley in the cloud sanitarium next to it on the rock wall. There's also a private keep out sign and the area is fenced off. And I'm looking at pictures of this right now. You can see them yourself by going to the East Idaho News article.
K. So there's a long road that leads back to at least half a dozen cabins or buildings, but due to how many trees were surrounding the structures, it's difficult to see exactly how many buildings or what else is back there. A flagpole could also be seen from the gate. And they've got photos, you know, where you can sort of see some structures. But, again, it is there's a lot of trees, so you can't really see at the end of the road there.
For all, you know, there could be tons of stuff in those trees, tons of structures. So East Side Onu says they've reached out to several local sources and law enforcement. Lieutenant Crane is gonna be here in 45 minutes. You can believe we're gonna bring this up. But none of them said they've ever heard of this place.
East Idaho News also reached out to multiple numbers possibly associated with the landowner, received no response, had an incorrect number, or the lines were no longer in service. And I won't get into who it's, you know, it says owns this area, but the valley in the cloud sanitarium exists, whatever it is. It exists. That is wild. I absolutely when I read that story on Reddit because I read Reddit stories, and I read weird Reddit stories.
And I've read lots of ghost stories, aliens, UFOs, Bigfoot. Yeah. I assumed this was just a weird story. Yeah. Just a weird story.
But there's the pictures. Why on earth is there a place called valley in the clouds sanitarium that is, like, straight out of, you know, some kind of Clive Barker novel? And, well, I'm sure I'm not gonna take the blame for, all the publicity this place is getting. I talked about it months ago, but I'm this is really blowing up now that east Idaho news drove on out and did a an expose. But, yeah, Taylor said it was like a real life horror movie.
She said she's not a crier, but after she lost sight of the girl, she broke down crying. And then that's when the camp director called the police to report the incident. So a deputy who was assigned checked the area, didn't locate anyone matching the description of the girl, And, yeah, that mean the girl didn't say she was hurt or she had hurt herself. They were just worried about her well-being, and then she disappeared off into the woods, into the valley in the clouds sanitarium, which is a place, which is so crazy to me that it's actually a place. So, anyway, where does this story go from here?
I don't know. But I would imagine we'll get some updates because you know how the this thing's running wild on the Internet now. I'm sure there's gonna be some kind of further investigation of of some sort. What what is this place? And it'll probably break down to being something really boring.
But I tell you, the name of that place, it gives me the creeps. The valley in the clouds sanitarium. Sanitariums are not even really a thing anymore, are they? I mean, that's where they you know, I was like, like, let's see. It's a historic name for a specialized hospital for the treatment of specific diseases related ailments and convalescence.
So, I mean, are there are they still a thing? Let's see. The decline of the sanitarium, blah blah blah. Most of them have transitioned into being normal hospitals. It's just weird.
There wouldn't be anything at all online about this prior to somebody bringing back up this, you know, Rexburg newspaper report on this from a police report. It's very crazy. Very weird. So, anyway, I mean, I basically went through the entire article for freak news today powered by Greasemann, but I'll keep you posted as we get updates, and I don't know. We'll see what lieutenant Crane has to say when he gets in because this this is weird to me.
It's weird and simply the the name of the place. I don't know. I watch a lot of movies. Oh, god. Give me the creeps.
K Bear. What's up? Not much. Hey. You know, do you wonder if maybe that lady from the sanitarium was actually a skin walker?
Oh, jeez. Now we're going real deep. She could be a skinwalker. I mean, the west. Just transformed and just don't go there.
Stay out of these areas. Yeah. You know, Skinwalker Ranch is well known and documented and all over the Internet. I did find it extremely strange that there was not a single reference to the valley in the cloud sanitarium outside of like these, even if you search for it right now, you'll get like 1 or 2 pages of Google results and they're all recent. Why is there nothing about this place anywhere?
And it does exist. But it's a forbidden zone probably for skinwalkers. Oh, you might be on to something here, Jeremy. You might be That's what would be my guess because they're all over the place, and it's a matter of, you know, if you're not supposed to invite those kind of people in, if that something seems weird. Yeah.
You know? You know? People talk about places like, Dolce, New Mexico with the supposed underground alien bases and things like that. I mean, I've I've read about so many of these strange locations where weird things are supposed to be taking place. There is not a peep of information anywhere about this Valley in the Cloud Sanitarium.
It's very very strange. Very strange. Yep. But I just say where she just disappeared, I would say that's probably what it is. Alright.
Jeremy with the, skinwalker. We got somebody who's, traversing through dimensions going on here. Yep. Portal to other worlds. Very well could be.
The b vortex. Alright. You're you're gonna contribute to me getting really out of hand with talking way too much today, Jeremy. Well, probably, but, you know, we all have to do our part. Well, I appreciate you supporting the program and driving the content forward.
Lieutenant Crane's got a a lot coming his way when he gets in here. You better get him with some donuts and make sure he's got some food to get through the cut the all the content today. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's gonna be a fun one.
So Alright. We will talk to you later. Thanks, Jeremy. See you. Bye.
And holy cow, he just walked in the door. Lieutenant Crane himself from the Idaho State Police. What is up, my friend? That is a great question. You got this little smirk on your face.
I just heard that last caller hang up, and I'm wondering what have I signed myself up for? Well, every once in a while, we have a weird chill, You know? Yeah. Every once in a while. Yeah.
I think today today could potentially get extra weird or you'll just be like, nothing to see here. Move on. Please keep moving folks. You know, like, the the cop in, in South Park or the, the Simpsons. Nothing to see here.
Move along. Nah. So we'll get into it all here in a minute, you know, because I figured you were the perfect guy to talk to about this kind of stuff.

Alright? Hey. Hey. Listen. They they have legitimate questions on this program, and we're trying to help the community.
Oh, so again, 2 0 8 535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys. Alright, Lieutenant Crane. A few months ago, I was scrolling through Reddit and I came across a weird post. And you're just getting to it today. I talked about it then.
Okay. But this is becoming a hot issue in east Idaho due to east Idaho news doing a big investigative story about this. There was a report from about 5 years ago from the, Rexburg newspaper detailing a police report out of Island Park about a lost girl who was found she wandered up to the scout camp, and she was kinda like had scratches and bruised up and couldn't talk very good. And she led one of the, counts I guess it was a counselor, another girl back to where she was from, which was a place called the valley in the clouds sanitarium. And she wouldn't let the girl who let her there go past the gate.
I read this story and read it again a few months ago, and I thought based on that post, this is all just made up. It was interesting that it was reported in the Rexburg News, but that Reddit post showed no evidence whatsoever that this place existed. Right. So I'm thinking this is internet conspiracy theory stories and things like that. Because yeah, they had like Google Maps and things.
Here's the the scout camp, which we all know about the scout camp out there. No. You've been to scout camp many times yourself? Yes. You know, I'm, an Eagle Scout.
I got my, what is it? The arrow of light is that? Yeah. That's a thing. Yeah.
I watched that movie. You know, remember that movie with, John Candy or John Goodman? I did watch the movie. Of course you didn't. You never watch any movies.
I was in the scouts, but I think I only made it to, Weebelows. Remember that? What a weird name for You you dropped out because you couldn't spell it? Yeah. I was like, that doesn't make any sense.
Alright. We get it. Cub scout. Was it a wolf scout? We below.
It's like, alright. I'm out. I'm out. I don't know what this means. So anyhow, I read this whole thing and like, you know, the girl was never seen again.
They sent a deputy up to look for her. Couldn't find her. And I'm like, okay. Another weird Internet story. I talked about it on air, moved on with my life.
Somebody shared it on Facebook. Till today. Till today. Till today. When I see this East Idaho news article about it titled a real life horror movie, Woman shares story of helping the lost team get back to sanitarium in 2019.
Are you aware of a sanitarium in the middle of the woods near Island Park? Oh, absolutely. Okay. What's going on there? I thought the place didn't exist.
East Idaho News drove up to the gate. Isn't that a weird name for something? Valley in the Clouds Sanitarium. There's the gate. And the address.
Yeah. You there it is. You can drive right up to it. If you Google that phrase, there are there's, like, nothing on the Internet about this till a few months ago. There's nothing about this place.
A lot of people have stuff up there so people don't know where their place is. Well, they put a label on it. It's a big sign. Put a big rock monument. A big rock monument.
And, Yeah. I just wanted to know what's going on. Let's go check you in at 5 tonight. See if you last till Sunday evening at 8. You know, generally, the sanitarium is, you know, on the outskirts of town.
You know, something like that. It's a big old something like that. It's a big old creepy building. East Idaho News drove up there and, like, well, there's a no trespassing sign. So they were smart, and they didn't go past it because yeah.
See, private. Keep out. Around here, you don't go past those signs because there might be someone living in a shack with lots of guns who might, you're on my property. And then Yeah. I don't go anywhere near any signs that say private keep out, you know.
They got them all along the fence when you drive out to the site. You're like, no. Don't pass it. You just stand at the fence line and mock them and make fun of them. That's right.
Hey, I'm here. I'm not past the same. What are you gonna do to me? Not today. Do cut cuts.
Exactly. Call them up. Call them up. But, so they they pointed out you can see some structures back in the trees. They said like, many structures, but you can't really see what's going on there.
Somebody, you know, went to a incredible amount of effort to build this, you know, large stone sign. And it just had such a, like, Stephen king esque name to it. The valley in the clouds sanitarium. Sounds like a horror movie place, doesn't it? Nothing?
Nothing on this? You could get scared easy. I do. I do. If I I was picturing myself out riding a 4 wheeler.
This is nothing like Arizona with nude beaches. Now we can get into different conspiracy theories with vortexes and things like that if we wanna talk about the the Arizona desert. There's some something weird going on out there too. You know, those, you know, hidden evidence of lost civilizations in the Grand Canyon. I saw it on Netflix.
All in 40 minutes. That's right. You can learn a lot in, Netflix and YouTube documentaries, and it's all true. So, yeah, this article's kind of running wild here. And, I don't know.
I just figured I'd see if you had any kind of insight as to, is this a portal to another dimension? Are you familiar with the skinwalker ranch in Utah? I am not. I don't believe you. You are an insider.
You're a, you know, high ranking paranormal expert at the Idaho state police. You don't know about the skinwalker. Remember, but I am the president. So, and by the way, listeners, if you have legit question and questions about the community, 208-535-115 is the number to call with your traffic school questions. So the Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, it's, out in the middle of nowhere, kinda like the valley in the cloud sanitarium.
And this really rich guy named guy. I think his name was Robert Bigelow. Yeah. Like, one of these billionaire guys got way too much money to just waste on whatever. He he bought this ranch in Utah where all this paranormal activity was supposed to be taken place.
Like, you know, you had your classic UFO cattle mutilations and then, beings coming through portals from other dimensions and, UFOs. The the works. Had the works going on, considered one of the biggest paranormal hot spots in the, in the world. And, you know, so they set up this research facility or something there to investigate. And as far as I know, nothing happened.
But I figure this is our Skinwalker Ranch. What would you say if I could get you the opportunity to go past the no trespassing signs? Let's go. I could I could get some great viral Internet content. You're saying you know who owns You you got that twinkle in your eye.
You don't wanna give me any information on air, though. I got your That sentence is, wound up now, though. Yeah. I I do wanna go past the gate. Nobody can go past the gate.
That's the thing. Nobody's been past the gate. I could be the guy. Can I film past the gate? I don't know.
I'm very intrigued. I'm good. Do we get to do we get to write a side by side? You have to go through a process. Hey.
I went I talked about this the other day. I went through a background check years ago to be able to sell firearms. But the problem is the difference between what was your life was then and now and the things you've done in between. Oh, no. I was way worse back then.
They approved me. I was good to go. So I think I'm fine now. That was quite quite the process. You know?
It is weird to me how I had to go through that kind of process to be in a building with, like, security and cameras and bars on the windows. In But then if I wanted to just take one of my own and go to the Walmart parking lot, yeah. Yeah. It's fine. They're really weird.
Some of our laws we've talked about them. They don't make a lot of sense. Well, listeners, I pride for information as I promised I would. I I guess we'll have to stay tuned. We might have a great video that could end up on the history channel coming soon.
They got lots of UFO shows. I'll hit up, you know, you've seen the the guy with the weird hair. I don't remember what his name is, but he's in all the memes. Aliens. If you have to at least say that right.
Yeah. That's right. We'll get on ancient aliens. Yeah. Yeah.
You and me. There's some things happening here. I think so. Valley in the clouds. It's weird, man.
All right, everybody. You, you better call with some questions for traffic school. Cause I just ran out of steam. No way. No way.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I I babbled on about this for a long time today because look at this. The East Idaho News went out and they went to town. They did a long article about this.
I didn't they said they found, like, the name of a property owner, but, they couldn't get a hold of him. I didn't read that person's name on air because who knows? You know? A lot of time, people you know, they'll go and they'll squat on people's land. You know, this guy, if he's like out of state or something, he might have no idea that the aliens have moved in and set up, you know, who who knows what.
Go on here. Because all it really does take to keep people out around here is a gate with a sign that says no. Because you you don't know what kind of person on the other side of that gate. You always react to no very well. I do.
I'm if somebody tells me no, that's all it takes. Right? I don't ever argue. K Barry, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys. Who's this?
Hey. This is Zach again. How's it going? Zach doing good. What's up?
Hey. So curious on roundabout. I'm going good. You're powering UFOs, Zach. That's what you're doing.
We found the truth about roundabouts today. Absolutely. So am I yielding to every single lane in that multi lane roundabouts or just what I'm going into? Hey, Zach. What you need to do is just pull up there, be very hesitant and cautious, and don't move for at least 3 to 4 minutes.
Yeah. I've got a new, documentary coming out about roundabouts. It's called look to the left and call, James. And that's that's the whole documentary. 40 minutes worth.
Just me yelling, look to the left and go. I drive up to roundabouts and just yell at people. Nice. If Victor would put put the energy into going out and do his documentary on roundabouts that he does this paranormal stuff, we'd have got our film out 10 years ago. It's gonna be the most popular traffic law related documentary of all time.
It's gonna be an Emmy winning documentary. Academy Awards. Well, you guys all forgot that, like, nightmare of an intersection now down on the College, Essex for Rexburg. What's going on there? Hey.
Hey. That's brand new. That is brand new. It is confusing. It's called the diamond.
I got a Diamond in the rough. Is it like the one in Pocatello? Is it that kind of thing? It is. Oh, same same kind of thing?
Under the underpass instead on top of it. Okay. Alright. Well, you know Yeah. I feel like I'm in England all of a sudden driving on the left hand side, and then I switch over to the right.
Well, let's see. How long did it take Pocatello to figure it out? Few years? So Yeah. Rexburg, give it a few years.
People will eventually get more. New people in every year, though. Oh, yeah. Those those kids, those college students, they don't know how to drive. Oh, no, they do not.
All right. So, yeah. What I recommend in that, area is look at the signs and follow the arrows. And we've been gonna do this documentary on roundabouts, like I say, for about 10 years, but we haven't been able to get Victor's car running yet. It's a little old sedan and it's always broke down according to him.
That's So I'm just burning gas in that truck. Can't even afford to drive myself out to the valley in the cloud sanitarium. Gas prices are too high for an investigation. I hope you guys have a good day. Hey.
You too, Zach. Thanks for the call, man. Peace. And, again, 208-535-1015 is the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. Well, since you callers, people didn't call me all morning nonstop the minute we try to help the community.
Radio silence here. Maybe there's a common denominator in denominator in this problem. They're all driving out to the woods coming out. Because I've been, you know, they're riling them up. Let's see here.
Traffic school Do you think there's cell service up there? Traffic School Do you think there's cell service up there? Cell service up I would think if you're near a vortex with portals to another dimension, I'm doubting it. Yeah. I'm surprised that East Idaho news cameras were working.
Usually, you get that, you know, electrical interference from the UFOs and make your like static. Yeah. It ruins it. K bear you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Yeah.
So I have a question. I have a coworker who has Oh, we can't get into that personal. He he has his physical license plate on his vehicle, but he also has the temporary paper in his vehicle as well. What what's the law on that? Because I'm genuinely curious.
Because you have a bet with him? No. Just because he doesn't like to be told, the best answer. Yeah. He can't handle the truth.
Yeah. And, you know, this program, this is all about truth. We're finding the truth today. What, what does this temporary tag say? It just says that it's, like, good for the month of that and then it's expired after the month, but he already has his, like, physical license plates on his vehicle, and we've told them, that he doesn't have to have the the temporary license plate anymore.
Yeah. Once he gets his paper? Yep. Once he gets his permanent plates, he can take that out of his window. Okay.
I doubt I I hate to disappoint you, but I if they match and they're both the same, I really doubt he's gonna get any havoc from any law enforcement. But Okay. I mean, I was just curious. That's all. But, yes, once he gets his permanent plates, he can take the temporary out of the back window.
It's no longer necessary. Okay. That's all I needed to know. Cool. Because you you can't get in any trouble for obstructing your rear window.
Right? It's well, it's not really considered obstructing your rear window because that's where it's asked to be displayed when that is your, temporary license plate. But what if it's unnecessarily there because you have a license plate? If you can still see to the rear with your side windows, you're still fine. Okay.
Alright. There you go. Awesome. Thank you. Have a good one.
You too. You've seen panel vans that can't see off the bat. Yeah. Up there, it's paranormal. Well, if you're gonna investigate the paranormal, I I learned back in the day as a kid, maybe you've actually seen this show.
It's called Scooby Doo. You have to drive a van to investigate the paranormal. Have you ever heard of that show? Well, it's up, Shaggy. Oh, okay.
Yeah. Yes. I'm amazed. Finally found a show you've heard of. Now that's on my level.
That's something I can understand. Okay. Alright. Yeah. Alright.
No South Park, though. No. No. Okay. 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates.
Okay. Luke sent us a question through the traffic school question form at riverbendmediagroup.com. Okay. Hang on. We got a caller.
So much for you, Luke. Sorry, Luke. You should have called live. K Barry, you're live on the show. Who's this?
This is Lee. How's it going guys? Doing awesome, Lee. What's up? Oh, not much.
Hey, with the traveling season around, I had a question about trailers. So currently, my parents have left in my possession their trailer to haul their 4 wheelers around, you know, when they come up to visit. What's the law on me using that around the state of Idaho where they don't have license plates or registration for their trailers in Utah? That's a good question. Do you have the title to the trailer shown that's titled in Utah?
My parents do. Yes. Yeah. So, yeah, once, you have that, we recognize Utah's laws on that, and you'd be just fine. So I can use that anytime I feel the need?
Or Yep. Yep. Well, I'd I'd call your mom first. Now you said like me to call her? Late for lunch?
Or Ma'am. Ma'am? Yes, sir. Now with your parents, you how many 4 wheelers are we talking? It's just a choose 2 spot.
2. So you and him. I don't have to go now. No. But I need you to escort me.
I feel safer with the police when I'm out doing paranormal investigation on a 4 wheeler. Yeah. We can go up to that sanitarium and and see a bunch of weird stuff if you like. Alright. We're doing UFO spotting.
I think you camp right outside that gate. I mean, you are familiar with Area 51. Right? Lieutenant Craig. I've heard of it.
Yeah. Somewhere along the line. I actually got a figure 8 car that has that number right on the side. Oh, no. Fair.
See, I knew you were in on this. I knew you were in on this. Do you know Does it make weird noises like the new hybrid cars? This one is backing up. Beep.
Beep. Because I'm wondering there's a there was a special mailbox out in the Nevada desert, and that's where they'd go stand and watch for UFOs. So what I think we gotta do is we head up that way, and we gotta find a useless mailbox in the middle of nowhere. You find weird stuff in the woods. One time I was in the woods.
Somebody We we could probably put a mailbox in the middle of nowhere and call it good. But you need the people involved with all of this paranormal activity to be, you know, the the MIBs, the men in black. They gotta be the ones to put the mailbox in because they know the right spot. They're the ones getting down to business. Totally lost my train of thought.
President is sitting across the counter from you, Edney. He is. I'm I'm bit by bit, I'm getting information out of this guy as the show goes on here. But I am Harvey curly fries. He likes to eat at Arby's.
Oh, yeah. Hey. No giving them free plugs. I prefer the, carne asada fries from Jalisco's myself. Yeah.
That's why I thought for sure you'd go with the SLA. Oh, no, no. We go with Halisco's all the way powering the noon hour of madness and mayhem. They're delicious. I had myself a great Chipotle burrito there the other day.
Fantastic. Sounds delicious. It was. It was. All right, man.
Appreciate the call today and enjoy your, 4 wheeling. Yeah, I will. And we'll talk to you guys later. Hey, you as well, man. Peace.
Take care. Bye. 208-535-1015. The number to call for traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this?
This is Matt. Matt. What's up, man? I have a question for y'all when it comes to tow trucks and using the beacons on the way to an accident. Please.
Are you trying to intimidate us with that? Bro, why you got a call with tow trucks, man? You don't wanna get me on a different tangent altogether. Can't talk tow trucks? Well, let's go ahead and talk about it.
Are are we allowed to use our beacons on the way to an accident if it's an emergency and they want us there quick? Well, the problem is your beacons aren't emergency lights. Right? So there's no code or law that says, you have to yield to an orange flashing light and pull over and let them buy. Use caution around them, but, yeah, you could turn them on, but it's not forcing anybody to yield to you.
Alright. Are we allowed to use the shoulder to get to an accident? Accident? And we've done that numerous times, and nobody's said anything. But legal wise, are we allowed Absolutely.
If you're asked to come because you're the clearance. Right? So if the traffic's all backed up into a standstill, absolutely. Turn your lights on, come off to the shoulder, and and get do what you have to to get where we need you. Okay.
And then you guys have that slow down and move over law, not only for you guys, but that, that's worker on the right or on the shoulder of the road. Alright. Well, then tell those people to slow down and move over. I got kids to get home too. Yeah.
Yeah. I wish they'd pay attention to that law when we're on the side too. No kidding, people. Be cautious. I I agree a 100% with you on that.
What's the fine for it if they don't slow down and move over and they get pulled over for that? You know what? I'd have to look that up. I don't recall right off the top of my head. Alright.
Well, that's my question. Hey. I I got a question for you. What's your name? Matt.
Matt, what's the name of your towing company? Hendrickson's. Hendrickson's. Alright. I've I've gotta say, Matt seems very concerned about doing things, doing business in a very legitimate way.
So I've gotta give a plug to Hendrickson's Towing, everybody, caring about following things to a tee. I love it. Thank you, Matt, and, I wish you great business. Thanks, Victor. Appreciate it.
Have a good one, man. You too. Bye. Lieutenant Crane's currently doing some paranormal research. I'm gonna, take this call.
Kay, Barry, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? Hey. Rather not say my name. Oh, yeah.
Alright. What what did you do? Nothing yet. Hey, real quick. Real quick.
Matt, $90. That's the fine for cellular move over. $90. Okay. We're back on track.
So I've just gotten a new drone that has a camera on it that, you know, you put the goggles on and you can kinda see where the drone is flying. What is the rules on flying above public property? Because, obviously, you're not allowed to step foot on it. But if I'm flying a drone and nobody's really come out and said anything, no one seems to be upset about it You'll find that if you start trying to film stuff inside the home that 9 out of 10 times it'll your nose will start to bleed. I see.
I saw a story the other day about a Florida man who saw a Walmart delivery drone in the air and he blasted it out of the sky with a shotgun. So, I'd say you have a decent chance of that on private property. Let me just tell you this. I think common sense rules, right? Don't violate people's personal space, and so if you're just flying it over to fly it over to get somewhere, not a problem.
If you're hovering and trying to get footage of certain things, you're gonna have problems. I see. Okay. I was just Do you really, though? Like a advantage space.
Do you really see, or do you just see through your goggles? No. I just I figured it'd be good to get an idea of what I'd be looking at. I figured if I took it out to some abandoned place out in, like, island park somewhere and blew it thrown around. You well, you'll be probably become an Internet hero, but you might you don't know what you're gonna run into, man.
I'm telling you those no trespassing. Don't go here. Stay out. I've seen enough horror movies. I'd rather sing.
I thought I might ask. All right. Well, appreciate the call, man. Yep. Thank you.
Yep. Have a good one. You too. 208-535-1015. I'm not gonna tell you my name.
I can tell you where I live, but I'm telling you where I'm going. But I'm not gonna tell you how mad my neighbors are. Again, 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. Alright, Luke. What do you want?
Yeah. Sure. Let's go back to poor Luke. I I didn't read the question until right now. Has anyone else noticed her name was l stranger things the underworld?
I I did it. I I will admit Luke when I first saw that article it said the girl's name was Elle, that kind of threw up a flag like, maybe we got some, some, you know, joking around going on here from, the the person that East Idaho News interviewed about the mysterious valley in the cloud sanitarium. I mean, you haven't watched stranger things, I would assume. I have not. I'm surprised because East Idaho's leading paranormal normal expert wouldn't watch a show called Stranger Things.
I live it. Oh, that's true. That's true. I know that. But you've seen Men in Black.
Right? I've I think I've started it and slept through the last of it. How about that? Just too boring compared to the real life Men in Black. I mean, people think that those guys wear suits.
And it's I mean, I'm looking at the outfit. It's sorta like a suit, you know, but you guys wear hats too and no tie. No tie. They they got the attire wrong in that movie. They do.
Yeah. Because you're you're you're the man in black right here. Wintertime, we wear a tie. That's right. Looking a little bit more like the men in black in winter.
But they they got the hats wrong. They just got and they got the nice, you know, combed hair and stuff. They have hair. Gay bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by The Advocates. Who's this?
Hey. This is Parker. How's it going? Great, Parker. What's up?
I got a question. There's a lot of been a lot of congestion through black boat when it goes down to one lane. What's the best thing for cars to do so there's not so much congestion? Man, that is a great question, and I'm gonna give you the answer, but nobody's gonna follow it. How about that?
Are we gonna talk about zipper merging? Exactly. And nobody will do it. Nobody because, boy, you're not getting ahead of me. But it's a proven fact that if you will let one car go from one lane and the other car go from the other lane and zipper into the the one lane, it is much more effective.
Do you zipper merge right when it goes down to one lane or do you try and do it a mile before it goes down to one lane? Right there at it. Just boom, boom, boom. Because if you back it up a mile, then somebody really gets offended because somebody drives by, you know, and so, yeah, everybody thinks yeah. It's crazy how important it is to cut somebody off and not let them in front of you.
Hey. I'm I'm in a hurry, and I need to be there 2 seconds early. Yeah. But, yeah, your the answer to your question is zipper merge there at the at the, Lane merger. Perfect.
Thanks for the information. Could you get out and hold a sign for that? I guess we don't have a volunteer. I guess not. He's like, what?
He's thinking about it. He's punching it. He looked at the temperature and was like No. Stand outside? Are you kidding me?
I'll say my AC truck. I'll tell you what. Absolutely, man. Well, we appreciate the call, and that is a good one to get out there. There's a lot of construction going on.
And even I, I mean, the first time that came up on the show, I was like, why do people drive all the way up to the end? You know? And you had to inform me that science has shown zipper merging more effective, but people just don't do it. I, I do have to share this with you, caller. This might be fun for you to hear.
Last week, I'm trying to come over pan carry and it's zipper merging. Right? So I turn left and I'm in the lane. I have to merge over to the right. I'm in a zipper merge.
Well, I'm ahead of the guy that I'm supposed to and my signal lights on, and I'm in my uniform, but I'm in a unmarked police car, and he is not gonna let me in, and he is making it evident that he's not gonna let me in that lane. So when he gets right up the side of me, I roll my window down, have him roll his window down, and I said, have you heard ever heard of zipper merging? And did a glint of sunlight flash off your badge? He figured it out, and then he's like, giving me the old cup hand. Oh, go ahead.
Go ahead. Come on in, buddy. Go ahead, friend. I meant for that to happen. Yeah.
I I I don't know. My brakes weren't working. Well, appreciate the call, man. Thank you, guys. Peace.
Alright. One more call. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Kellen.
Kellen, what's up? So I have a question, to piggyback off of the construction question. Is there any penalties for you know, because you have all the drivers that wanna hurry and race to the very beginning when they know they have to get over. Are is there a penalty, or can you get in trouble if because I see it all the time with semis where semis will get in the middle of both the left and right lane and not let anybody pass so that they have to get over. Is Yeah.
They're in Yeah. When you're blocking, that's, just like, when you're traveling in the fast lane at the speed limit or less and not and blocking traffic up behind you. So even and I I get their frustrations, right, but it is designed to be a zipper movement, and so it you can't block traffic to get up there. Awesome. Alright.
Thanks so much. Hey. Thanks, man. Peace. Bye.
Alright. We'll do your one last call, but you gotta make it snappy. Who's this? Hey. Hey.
Just wanna let you guys know I took your advice on that roundabout and, sat there for them 4 minutes. There's there's quite a bit of unhappy people behind me. Alright. Alright. Good.
Good. You know, they ain't got places to be. You know? I I I always got anywhere to be. Hey.
Since you do know how to listen, could you grab a sign that says zipper motion and go send that black foot? Yeah. I know. Not okay. Alright.
We'll keep trying. We'll keep trying. Thanks, man. Alright. Have a good day.
You too. Peace. Alright. That was another stellar edition of traffic school powered by the advocates. Any community stuff you need to get out there to the people?
Don't go to places you don't understand. I think that's a fair message. I think it's a fair message. Are you anti electric shock treatment? Who decided out of all the things to do electric shock therapy to people?
Probably creepy scientists. Yeah. That's what I'm guessing. But from what I understand, electroshock therapy can be very beneficial to certain people. So I'm thinking we, you know, get a car battery, peaches, put you over there in the corner, and we make some TikTok videos.
What are you? Trevor Phillips? Oh, yeah. That is kinda kinda wrong, isn't it? We're doing it for content, Jay.
It's the problem. It's gonna go viral. This is gonna be shocking footage. The radio t j gets shocked by car battery. Alright.
Peaches, for the sake of a viral video, would you be hit with a taser? No. Because You know, it's got the it shoots out the little thing with the little prongs and sticks in and Yeah. I I've seen radio DJs get tased before and all of them have, had to change their pants afterwards. K.
How about stun gun? Would you take a stun gun? You know, that's just a little zzzzt, you know. I thought that was worse than a taser. Well, let's find out what the Internet says.
I'm a cattle prod. Let's go even let's go even further. That's probably not good. That's a mega stun gun. Which is worse, a taser or stun gun?
Well, a taser is just as painful as a normal stun gun. It's more effective at incapacitating muscle functions so an attacker can't move. So, stun gun's gonna hurt like crap, but the taser's gonna get you on the ground shaking. How about the We have lieutenant Crane showing up today. We'll flip a coin.
Who gets the stun gun? Who gets the taser? Yeah. Does he pack both? Alright, peaches.
How about just pepper spray? How about some mace to the face? I'm already having problems with my eyes. I can't imagine. Well, are you congested?
No. Okay. Because I I bet it would help with congestion. Just your nose and eyes all start running just clear you right out. Yeah.
Like when you eat, spicy food, your nose starts running. It's kinda like that. I heard it's fun. No. Kids, listen.
These are all serious weapons that can be used to incapacitate attackers. Don't use them for TikTok videos. Peaches and I are just joking. How about we just go through all the old fashioned torture devices? We'll put a heat lamp over rats trapped on top of you so they, you know, go through.
My favorites, the brazen bull. I've actually thought about doing radio breaks before on, medieval torture devices, but they're really gruesome. Alright. So we can't really get into the description of how these items work. It might cross the line into, disturbing and obscene content for the average person in our community.
Attila the Hun was in night night at the museum. He was torturing Ben Stiller. He didn't see that. I don't think he tortured him quite as bad as some of the, I've I've, as you know, read a lot of horror novels and, you know, watched a lot of true crime stuff and documentaries. Right.
So, of course, I have researched medieval torture devices and oh, man. I'm so glad we live in the day and age that we do. Some of the ways that they would put people to death back in the day. Oh, it's rough. It was terrible.
Yeah. Horrible. Burning people at the stake? Like, that's horrific. Now how about, like, what this could be fuzzy thoughts with Peaches.
Like, what if you can go back in time to, like, you know, a simulation almost to be who you are now back then and see how long you'll last? And as soon as soon as I tend to get like your character dies, then you're you come back to here. Oh. I mean, I I tend to get along with people pretty good and I don't wanna be broken on the wheel. Alright?
So I have a feeling I can't imagine you in, like, ancient Egypt or something like that. You you are you with the, the the forefathers. I'm back. I'm gonna sign my name the biggest to the declaration of independence. I'm Victor Williams.
I would love to go back and talk to the forefathers and be like, you don't know what's gonna happen down the road. You gotta be stricter with these documents. You gotta be really clear. People are gonna start interpreting them in weird ways. Things are gonna get out of hand.
Lay down the law a little bit stricter. Yeah. Because You'd wear one of those powdered wigs too? No. They wore those to cover up that they had, like, you know, sicknesses.
Lesions and Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't good under those wigs. Imagine being a imagine, like, the hot weather like this with a powdered wig on your head. You're wearing the foofy outfit too.
Yeah. That sounds miserable, man. They didn't dress like that back in the day in Phoenix. That's why we didn't migrate west till the 1800. Would you Too hot to wear the stupid clothes and wigs.
Would you beat up William Shakespeare? Go back to his time and be like why did you write so poorly? Why did you why did you write these terrible stories? Now the stories plots are pretty good. I just can't tolerate trying to read them.
You know, it's it's the modern age. We shouldn't have to read that type of gibberish. Alright? I can respect it as a historical document. The modern re modern retellings of those stories where they talk normal, great.
But trying to read that, can't stand it. Down with Shakespeare. If you could, go back in time to one historic event, what would One historic event? Yeah. Would you join Lewis and Clark and explore the west with Sacagawea, Do do you know what kind of wild animals were running them?
You know how many animals we've killed off at this point? Back then, it was like red dead. There are mountain lions, bears everywhere. It it was dangerous peaches. It was dangerous.
We've wiped out lots of the wildlife in the western part of the country. I would not wanna be on an expedition. Alright. One moment in history that I'd wanna go back to. I really think the times we're in, you know, despite all the things you hear me complain about and, you know, idiots who are in charge of things, I think we're living in the best times ever.
I don't think it would be great to go back to the past. It doesn't sound very nice to me. I think I would go back to go, with Teddy Roosevelt to discover the national parks. Because for some reason, I imagine Teddy Roosevelt as Robin Williams with glasses Isn't that a medium? That's not what he was really like.
He's probably madman. Alright? I mean, so is Robin Williams. I mean, yeah. Yeah.
But I I think if I had the choice, hang out with Teddy Roosevelt or Robin Williams, I'm definitely gonna go with Robin Williams. He'd be way more fun. Teddy Roosevelt is probably like, here, take some of this, you know, the old fashioned chew that comes in a pouch. If you don't put some of this in your mouth, you're gonna be a real man. But who's under the woods with me?
We're gonna go out and shoot some bears. Who said he was some wild tobacco chewer? I'm just guessing. Yeah. He looks like it.
It looks like he'd mow down Wow. Like, big he'd have a big pile of dip in his mouth, just pounding a bottle of whiskey out of the woods. Cowboys and some crazy, like, 1800s like, howdy, yo. That's what I pictured Teddy Roosevelt as. We're going out in the woods, boy.
We're gonna get out here, and we're gonna get some pelts. I'm gonna wrap myself in a bear skin. Give me that whiskey. That's Teddy Roosevelt. Pull my gun and he goes to wrestle a bear?
Yeah. That's the type of guy he was. Alright. I wanna talk about talking on the radio. Derek, who called this morning, you should call me back.
Derek, who called in at about 6:20. You remember? He had a request for some tool or a perfect circle, which I played for him out of the kindness of my heart. And he called in because he wanted me to shut up and play music. It happens every now and again, but I think most of you who listen to my show know some days, I have a lot to say.
Other days, not as much. Just how it goes. Today, there's been a lot of content. It's felt like a great show as far as I'm concerned. So, Derek, if you're listening, you should call in.
Again, 208-535-1015. I just wanna talk to you, Derek. I wanna let you know that sometimes on K Bear, we talk a lot, like in about 15 minutes. 8:45 AM every Friday morning, we have a show called Traffic School powered by The Advocate's Injury Attorneys. And during that program, we do nothing but talk for about a half hour.
Nothing but talk. Derek sent me a a message through our contact form asking me to shut up and play more music. And I was like, but but Derek already called and talked to me about this. We talked for, like, a few minutes about it on air. It was a good, nice, friendly conversation.
So I did need the contact form message too. Maybe you sent the contact message first. I don't But I just wanted to remind her that sometimes we talk a lot like we're going to in about 15 minutes with Traffic School powered by The Advocates. A radio station doesn't necessarily mean a audio listening format that does nothing but play music. Like, I could fire up local radio stations right now that do nothing but talk.
That's all they do. It's called talk radio. Now we are a entertainment channel as I would like to refer to ourselves that does play a lot of great music. We're not just simply a music station. If you want nothing but music, that's not what radio is for.
There are a million places you can get. Just music. You know about them. All the places where you can find the Victor Wilt Show on demand and hear me do nothing but talk with no music. That's right.
Even on Spotify, you can listen to my show with no music, but you could also listen to nothing but music. Got YouTube? It's a great place to check out some music with no talk. Alright. I'm looking around the room here.
We got these things called, compact discs. Peaches gave away a bunch of them. Nothing more. CDs last week. If you turn on one of those, there might be some, interludes, but for the most part, all music.
Oh, we got a caller. Maybe it's Derek. Call me back. K, Bert. You're live on the show.
Keep that in mind. Who's this? Victor. Hey. Hey.
Hey. Hey. You can't say swear words on the radio. I I bleeped myself. It didn't sound like it, so I had to dump out on what you said.
Oh, well, you know, that's see, it's how you're talking about proper etiquette on talking on the radio and all. I just had to make sure that you were paying attention with that 5 5 second loop. Okay. Okay. Yes.
So is this Derek from earlier? Oh, hell no. This is Troy. Okay, Troy. Troy, try not to even say the h word.
It makes Jade uncomfortable. Oh, sorry, Jade. Love you. Anyway Like any words that might offend a 5 year old. That's the that's the language limits we have on this station.
So just be really, really cautious. You know, it's kinda funny. I was actually an assistant kindergarten teacher. So I do know how to not do it, but now I work construction. So Like, even some of the words they use in Pixar movies were not supposed to say on air, so be very, very cautious.
Seriously. Holy crap. So, Troy, what's up? What's on your mind with, me yapping? I was just calling to tell you to quit whining.
Oh, okay. So I could talk as long as I don't whine. There you go. Alright. That's fair.
That's fair. I'll stop my whining. I just couldn't believe it. I was like, Derek, why'd you send me this angry message after we had a nice conversation on air about talking? And he talked on air a long time, and I played him a song.
I thought I was very kind to Derek. So does that mean if I talk to you for a while, you'll play me a song? You've you've been pretty kind. You did, you know, say the h word, but, I could probably play you a song, Troy, as long as it's a good song. Well, it would be 5 figure death punch judgment day.
I think that's pretty good song. Let me see if I've got that one in the system. I I do. I do. So, Troy, I will play that for you out of the kindness of my heart.
That's good. Because for a second, I thought I was gonna have to be mean just so you'd play it then, you know, I I'm I'm getting a vibe from you today there, mister Victor. Hey. Getting a vibe. Well, I I do feel very talkative today.
I'll admit it. I I don't know why, but we've had a lot of great content today. You know, we had that whole valley in the cloud sanitarium thing. That was weird, and I I had to dive in deep. So that is weird.
But if you think about it, what better way to get business than to do that? It sounds like Weird, man. It sounds like the type of place where you ship people off to the woods and you don't have to see them anymore. Get that was creepy. So I don't know.
We'll we'll see when we get some news updates on it, but yeah, I'll get you that song up here in, just a second. Perfect. And I'm ready for you guys to send me there for my retreat. Alright. Stay tuned.
Maybe that'll be our next Kay Bear giveaway. We're giving away a one one way tickets to the Valley in the Cloud Sanitarium. That's perfect. Alright. Thanks, Troy.
Yep. Peace out. See you. Okay. Hold on.
Maybe this is Derek calling. K Bear, you're live on the radio. Please keep that in mind. Who's this? Hey.
This is Zach. Sorry, man. Not Derek. It's okay, Zach. What's up?
Hey. Just saying, I think Troy's got the wrong idea. You know? You're you're whining, as he said, makes a lot of us laugh in the morning. It's actually quite enjoyable.
Well, thank you. I'm glad you enjoy my whining. I I try to not whine too much, but I I know it happens. I know I can be a complainer. So a lot of fun to listen to.
You know? Well, thank you. And I I think that's why, a lot of people do listen. For some reason, they connect to the way my brain just spews things out on a daily basis. Oh, absolutely.
Well, thank thank you, Zach. And, I hope that you Oh, yeah. Hope you have an awesome weekend, man, and I appreciate you tuning into the show. Absolutely. Have a good day, brother.
You too, man. See you. Man, today's show, it just kinda blazed on by. It ain't done, though. We still got about 20 minutes.
How much more could I possibly talk today? This may be the day in radio that I have talked the most in one show. It's what happens if right out of the gate, somebody's like, why are you talking so much? But, again, shout out to Derek. We had a nice conversation about talking on the radio by talking on the radio, and then he got a song request, and he was happy.
Alright. Let's see. I just saw the word pizza. And I gotta say pizza sounds really good. Pizza and coffee.
That's what I need in my life. So let's see. Number number crunchers at the website media decision analyzed Google search data to figure out what state eats the most pizza. And I figured you'd go New York, right? Because isn't that the place known for pizza?
But apparently not. Apparently not. However, these are all over in the eastern part of the country. You got Rhode Island, which is a little tiny state. They must eat tons of pizza.
Connecticut, which I found out by going to Connecticut, is, like, known as one of the best pizza places in America. The state of Connecticut, very proud about their pizza. They had some pretty good pizza while it was there as a matter of fact. Did not eat any pizza in New York. Wow.
New Hampshire, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. Nothing over here in the west? No Chicago? No New York? Well, yeah.
No Illinois in there. Well, I'll be darned. Now that's just the places that eat the most pizza. So it doesn't necessarily mean they got the best. They'll I mean, you you read online about these places that claim to have the best pizza?
They will put a foot down and be like, we have the best pizza. Forget those guys. Their pizza's crack. I shouldn't be talking about pizza. Because now I really want pizza.
Oh, well, I got bananas and, oatmeal. Yeah. It's better for you. Not better for the taste buds, but it's better for you. So alright.
Well, now you know who eats the most pizza. Is this valuable information? I I think I'm gonna go with no. Not really. Before I end the program, peaches, I was gonna ask you.
You're a you're a young person. Sure. Have you heard of this app called hang on here? Why can't I remember the name of it? You have it downloaded?
Yep. Life 360. Why do I feel like I've heard that name before? I would assume younger people have heard of this because I've never heard of it, but it's apparently something that, helicopter parents use. Oh, it tracks the movements of a person who decides to set up an account on it.
So my kids told me last night because, you know, Maddie is, currently driving back to Washington. And I kept telling her when you're stopped, call me, check-in so I know where you're at. And Taryn's like, well, she's she's driving, and she's here. And I'm like, what what do you mean? How do you know?
She's like, well, I pulled her up on Life 360, and we're friends on it, and we track each other everywhere we go. That's sweet. I Sibling love right there. I guess so. And they're like, why aren't you on it, dad?
And I'm like, well, my phone is already a tracking device tracking me everywhere I go. Now I need you guys tracking me everywhere I go, and they're like, yeah. And I was like, but I could track you everywhere you go. And they're like, yeah. And I'm like, and you're fine with that.
It's a new generation. Yeah. They ain't worried about privacy right at all, apparently. So I did install the app and now I can see where my kids are at it any second. And they're adults.
It's kind of strange. Good just in case, you know, something bad may happen to them. You never or you or something like that, but you never know. It's it could come in handy. It's true.
Like, I knew when Maddie made it to her hotel because I could see she was at the hotel. She's a young girl driving a car all the way across. So you gotta make sure she's safe. Exactly. And I I could just imagine a lot of people panicking at this type of app, but, yeah, like, you know, Taren, do you wanna know where I am right now?
I'm at work. You can zoom in. I mean, it's not, like, 100% accurate, but it's pretty close. Oh, yeah. Like, yeah, it it shows that I'm at work.
So I don't know. Kinda weird, but I don't know how long it'll last. I don't have anywhere I need to hide myself from or anything. Like, kids can't know them here, but I had never heard of this. What if you shop for Christmas presents?
And then they're like, oh, we spotted him at this store. He might be buying something for me. Well, then it would say sitting at home because I I tend to just I don't wanna go into a department store during Christmas time. You support big Amazon. No.
I'm not. You're a disgrace. Not necessarily. You suck. I will order stuff from, independent businesses, but I do it from the comfort of my computer room.
You don't have to go in the house. Yeah. You don't have to go in anywhere anymore. Don't be too late. Those people now.
Come on. The only Come on, support. Stores I go to, and shop around are the grocery stores. No. But see, I got I got to go to those fun department stores.
I would so much rather Oh. Avoid the grocery stores because the grocery stores are when you get people blocking the aisle, having conversations with one another. You get stuck behind 93 year old Betty paying with a check. Nobody really pays with a check-in like a hot topic. Well, okay.
Hot topic I might walk into because they got the clearance rack and I might find something cheap. See, yeah, they don't the clear the clearance rack online is always dug through because everyone has access to it. It takes a little extra effort to Yeah. Actually go to the store. I I have a little thing with hot top Hang on, caller.
Because they don't have a 3 XL option in stores. You have to buy online. That's that's Yes. That's fadism. And I would, if there was like a specific shirt I wanted, and I was gonna pay full price, then I would not go into the store.
I only go into the store to look at the clearance rack, you know, or I might go in somewhere like Spencer's if, I just have the back of the store. If I have no idea, I go back to the store. Caller, who's this? Hi. This is Rob.
I just call on to say that I lost my phone at Universal Studios, and my daughter was able to 360 it and exactly where it was, and they were able to find it and everything. Did it fall off the tram? It it was on the it was still on the tram. See, there you go. The seat.
Yeah. What's funny is my daughter lost her phone at, universal studios a few months ago too. And she called me from her boyfriend's phone and he doesn't have the 3 60 thing and neither did I. But I was like, well, you should be connected to find my iPhone. And so she was able to go find it, but I could see why this would be way easier.
And what's funny is at, at River Fest last week, there was a point because I was driving band gear back and forth from the band parking to the stage. And I had got out to unload some gear at the band parking. My phone fell out of my pocket when I got back to the stage and was trying to call the next band phones, just MIA. I could have called my daughter with the 3 60 thing and been able to be like, okay, it's, you know, it looks like it's over, you know, kind of by the river or something. I would have been able to guess where it was, but thankfully Right.
One of the bands heard it ringing and picked it up on the ground because I called it from, Katie Lee from z one zero three's phone. So I was able to find Yeah. Exactly. So, yeah, I I think I'll leave it installed. You know, it's, it's handy.
And, again, I pretty much go from here to home. Same here. He's at Winco. I can't believe it. What's he doing?
He went to a store. He went to the gas station. Oh, once again, believe this. Be at Culver's Drive thru. Also, gentlemen, if you're trying to be sneaky about stuff, you can turn it off.
Oh. Well Yeah, Victor. You can turn it turn it back on. Kids, you won't know where I'll be. That's right.
I'm at the valley in the cloud sanitarium. Whoop. Sometimes you go shooting out in the hills, and you don't want your wife to know you're out in the hills. Uh-oh. Rob speaking to personal experience right here.
I mean, nothing like that. Never mind. Rob wasn't at any specific clubs in town or anything like that. So Exactly. Alright, man.
Appreciate the heads up. That's a a great point I didn't think of was the, missing phone thing. That'd be very handy. Yeah. Alright.
You guys have a good one. Hey. You too. Peace. Hey, Barry.
You're live on the show. Who's this? This is Lucas. Lucas, what up, man? Not much.
Just wanted to say something about that Live 360 app. I I didn't have it myself and I was on the phone with my brother one time and all of a sudden he got in this crazy panic. He was, out of town and he's like, hey, I need you to go to my wife. She just got in a car accident over, on Woodruff and 17th Street, because the the app itself has, collision detection in it as well. So it's not just refining your phone.
Oh, wow. Yeah. Do you have to have, like, a premium plan for that or anything? Or That so the so there is a there is a premium plan. I don't actually know if that's under the premium plan or not.
It's plus popped up a couple of times saying to turn on your collision detection, and I I never have because I got it after after that. So I was like, oh, this is awesome. Oh. But, That's great to know. Yeah.
It's got the I don't I don't know how they find out. I don't know if they, like, if it senses that the phone went flying or or what. But Okay. Yeah. I've got a it looks like going into my settings, there is a crash detection that is activated.
So Yep. But if you wanna dispatch, emergency dispatch, you need the gold package. Yeah. Yeah. For the automatic dispatch, I'm assuming.
Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. That's cool. And, Yeah.
Another thing that I see it's offering is, you know, those little tile things. You've seen those before, peaches? Yes. Tile tracker. Yeah.
You can sync that up with this. So, like, yesterday when I couldn't find my keys in the morning and I was running around my house getting more and more enraged that I couldn't find my keys when I needed to come to work. Well, that I don't know how how close it would zoom in, but it, oh, it's the tile makes noise. Right? I believe so.
Yeah. I think it, like, has a little siren in it or something. So, yeah, I should probably I can I can see my wife walking around Walmart? Man. It'll tell you that she's that she's walking and not driving, and I can act because Walmart's so big.
I can actually see that she's moved from one side of the store to the other. Right on, man. Yeah. It, again, when they told me about it, I'm like, I don't know about this being tracked all the time thing, but then when I saw how it worked and, you know, before I went to bed, I was like, oh, my daughter made it to the hotel, and she hadn't messaged me. I was like, okay.
I I can go to sleep. You know what's creepy is Snapchat. Great great great for kids. Great for kids. Not not don't don't check on your spouses.
Yeah. I was gonna say Snapchat has the Snapchat map where it shows, like, your avatar Yeah. Wherever you are. They showed me that. I turned mine off because I'm just, like, I don't want listeners following me around.
Yeah. See this, you build your little group. I'll find you peaches. It's pretty easy to spot. So, I mean, if I'm in public Like this, I was like, okay.
It's only you 2 who can see where I am. You 2 kids. Right? And they're like, yeah. I'm like, I don't want all your your friends.
No. I'm watching too, Victor. Peach is hacked hacked my account. Yeah. I'm just trying to find out where you're at all the time.
Yeah. It's it's called my recliner. That's yeah. Exactly. Literally.
Eating some nachos. Yep. Pretty much. That or at grocery outlet refilling on these different drinks that he gets. I do like to get myself some discounted, you know, weird beverages so I have something to drink.
Oh, that reminds me. I have a drink for you too. I got from there. What'd you get? I got this, that milk tea with boba in it.
Oh, you told me about it. Yeah. I have a I have a can for you. Alright. Yeah.
Last few times I've been in, the drink selection sucked. I was I was very disappointed. I went to the one in Pocatello. Oh, okay. Lot bigger.
Yeah. Usually I could get like a case of, I I don't know, some kind of Gatorade clone or something. Right. But, you know, Gatorade. Yeah.
Hatorade, but it's like all energy drinks now. And I'm like, I need something that's not caffeine. All right. I'm gonna be crawling out of my skin. So, appreciate it, man.
Thanks, man. Peace. So there you go. Parents, you wanna track your kids everywhere they go. We got you covered on the Victor Wilt show.
We're all about spying on people. You know my favorite app is? I used to have it. I think I I need to download it again. I was just talking to my friends about it.
